FAQs

Are the New Balance 327 trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the 327 are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not recommended for serious athletic training or performance running.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner or eraser, always testing on a small, hidden area first and following product instructions carefully.

What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?

The grey 327 trainers are very versatile and pair well with jeans, casual trousers, shorts, and various casual dresses or skirts, adding a stylish retro-modern touch to your look.

Do these trainers come in other colors or materials?

The New Balance 327 series is available in a variety of colorways and material combinations, including nylon and leather variations, depending on the specific model.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without your heel slipping. Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. They should feel comfortable from the start, with no excessive pinching or looseness.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to prevent damage and staining.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For persistent dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are slightly snug, wearing them with thinner socks or using shoe stretchers might help. If significantly too small, consider exchanging for a larger size.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair. It's recommended to use laces of a similar material and length for optimal fit and appearance.

Compatibility: These trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with denim, chinos, casual trousers, shorts, and various casual dresses or skirts.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the suede material:

  1. Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions.

  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can prevent the material from breathing.
